I a long and fish-like neck he wore the highest collar I have ever seen. But he had a son, it eeems, and he was lead ing him to Grenfell. Soon the boy came abreast. I watched . all three. The father straightened up and tried to blurt out something about wanting his boy to shake the doctor's hand. The boy turned pink and put out a tenta tive and shaking paw. I was relieved to know that his neck was not so long and curved as his father's, and that he had a look of breeding, probably caught from his mother. Grenfell is the only man I have ever known who is great enough to be unconscious of it. He shook hands with the lad and said something natural and pleasant to him. And the scene was over. Probably thia was the best thing that father ever did. I would like to think that he knew how to make it a habit. He believed ra exposing his son to a hero. Good Mnsle for Children's Pbonoarraph. To the Editor: Can you sugrgrest some phonograph selec tions, vocal and instrumental, that are bet ter than raptime, but not too heavy for the children to enjoy? I feel a. it this Instru ment might be mad more valuable in our children's musical education. ' ELLA. F. O. The phonograph monthly catalogues now usually name "10 Selections That Should Be in Every Home," which are of the - quality you desire. Robert Haven Schauffler has suggested the following admirable list of "light classics": Schumann's "Traamer.1." "The Two Grenadier." and his "Scenes From Child hood"; alao "Ah, Moon of My Delight." from Lehmann's "In a Persian Garden"; Schubert's "Serenade"; tfte barcarolle from "The Tales of Hoffmann"; the Bach Gounod "Ave Maria": Pierne's "Serenade"; Moszkow.ki'a "Serenata." opua 15: Weber's Invitation to the Dance"; Straua waits. The Beautiful Blue Danube"; "The Swan." by Saint-Saens; Brahms' "Cradle SonB." his Futile Serenade" and Hungarian dance in G-minor; Dvorak's "Humoresque" ; Rubin stein's "Kamennoi-Oatrow r and "Melody In F" ; the berceuse from "Jocelyn," by Oodard : Binding's "Fruellngsrauschen" : the Chopin nocturne in B Flat; the Wedding March from Wagner's "Lohengrin," and the "Grand March" and "Song to the Evening Star, from his "Tannhauser." He Won't Apologize. To the Editor How shall 1 get my son to apologize when be has done wrong? LUMCU XV. Why try? The ceremony of apology Is unknown in the child-world. When children get over "being mad" they Just start on where they left off. To them the fact that they are playing peaceably is evidence enough that suf ficient reparation has been made. And this is usually true, because generally there was wrong on both sides. Apolo gies are no doubt gratifying to you. but as they often make a child sorry he was "sorry," they often do him more harm than good. ' Penitence has been defined as "to do so no more." If you can get this result, and perhaps an occasional ex tra penitential kindness, 1 think you have enough. However, If you begin early enough. by teaching the children to kiss and make up" and by always apologizing yourself when you have done them wrong, you may be able to inculcate this pleasing habit.

I was a college freshman of the age of 16. It was commencement time. The procession had just emerged from the college church, the . dignitaries "passing," as the printed programme has always described It, "between the split ranks of the graduating class." And at the head of the line, with the college president, was the first doctor of laws I ever saw. It was the Hon. John Wentworth, LI D., the earliest Mayor of Chicago, who was then the president of the Alumni Association. I suppose he was not so very great, although he was mighty picturesque. "Long John" was tall and massive and swarthy and he walked with a stride of kingly dignity. But he v.as of noble lineage, he had played a sturdy part in a stirring his tory and for the day he was premier. An old man, he had come back for the last time to renew the scenes of his youth, and as he passed In pomp, surrounded as it were by the solicitous president, he seemed like some, king of the forest escorted by at house canary, or to use what Swinburne said was ' Browning's finest verse: As the king-bird with ages on his plumes Travels to die in his ancestral glooms. Another Boy Meets n Great Man. A number of years afterward I stood In the city of Detroit beside another boy who was about to see his first great man. This one who wa to come was six times an LL. D. and had been President of these United States. He had lived a picturesque life of varied adventure. Born out of due time, he had always expressed a passion for battle, murder and sudden death. From the beginning he had seemed to know whither he was going and people had gotten out of his way. He was loved because of the enemies as much as be cause of the friends he had made. Every time he had been shelved, and this was very often, he had used the shelf for a ladder and had climbed up. He had always sat up late enough to see all the fun that was going on. and had always gotten up early enough to start some more. I need not say that these remarks refer to Theodore Roosevelt. He was on one of his Roman triumphs, whether on the way to Ar mageddon or the social New Jerusa lem I do not remember. And the boy and I had gone out to see him. At last he came. He was in a carriage, standing ,up. His sombrero was in his hand, his famous smile was in place, and there was about him the same look of conscious power that I had seen when I looked upon my first hero. The boy was transported. He wreathed his hero's portrait with flags. Long before he was 21 he attended a Roosevelt convention as an alternate delegate. And ever since there has been something in his tread and his gesture that frequently remind me that he was once exposed to the most mag netic figure of our time. A Third Boy Meets a Hero. It Is only a few months ago that I saw another hero, the greatest man it has ever been my privilege to know, Wilfred Grenfell, the maker of Labra dor. He had Just been talking to a huge audience, and many were coming up to greet him. I saw In the crowd a father and his son. I had often marked the man, and I had instinctive ly disliked him. He was one of the sort that was born to be a church usher, if you know what I mean. Upon NEW wash satin is being made much of in the new fashionable lingerie. and yards and yards of this fine mate rial have gone into the Summer and Spring petticoats. It really proves far more satisfactory than the transparent silk and taffeta skirts, which always have to be accompanied with another, heavier skirt, when worn with light weight dresses. Hemstitching and em broidery, tucks and Insertion are much more favored In the new petticoats than lace. In keeping with the prevalent straight lines the -underskirts are not quite so wide as a season or so ago. There are some very elaborate ones and some rich looking, but almost severely plain. Camisoles of white, flesh and pink wash satin with dainty ribbon-trimmed tops may be had to match the new pet ticoats. Knickerbockers of white and pink satin, also ribbon-trimmed, are new additions in the lingerie depart ments. Shoe men say that with the coming of Summer the usual number of low shoes and pumps will not be in evi dence. They have gone with other things which are almost obsolete. Even for parties and dancing high shoes of silver,' golden or dainty satin will be worn, while street shoes will be higher than ever, and as pointed and on as long, narrow lines' as earlier in the season. The heels are as a whole getting lower; not flat, but medium low, with nicely arched boots that will be either laced or buttoned. Laced shoes will be more popular, since they fit the foot more evenly, and the whole Idea of the smartest boots is trimness. Combinations of gray, browns. mauve, cream and even the black and white and brown and white leathers, so popular during 1916, will be in vogue. Street shoes will be high of glace and Russian leathers, and with the medium low heels. Party and dress shoes will have higher heels and be of kids and soft leathers. !i A Selling Event Which Overshadows All Other Furniture Sales of the Year Positively the most unique and remarkable demonstration of furniture merchandising; ever given the people of Portland.
